Crestview Water System Improvements

Fig. 1 Proposed water main improvement locations shown by blue rectangles

The City of Whitehorse is upgrading the Crestview subdivision's drinking water system. This year, we will replace sections of the buried watermain and make major upgrades to the pumping station. Stantec is providing engineering services for the project.

Why is this project happening?
The Crestview watermain distribution system has historically experienced pressure fluctuations, with some homes facing low water pressure during high demand. The water can also become cold, occasionally causing watermain freezing. Additionally, improvements are underway to increase fire hydrant flow levels. The map to the right shows areas where we will replace the water main.

What is the proposed plan?
The plan is to complete the project in two stages. This year, the Contractor will install the new watermain. In summer of 2025, the upgrades to the existing Crestview booster station will be completed.

Norcope Enterprises Ltd. was awarded the Contract for the watermain replacement work. Norcope will begin construction in the first week of July. Work is expected to be complete by mid-October 2024.

How will I be affected?
Some residences may experience temporary road closures and brief water service interruptions. Every effort will be made to minimize these disruptions. Affected residents will be given a minimum of 24 hours’ notice prior to the water system being shut off.
